Despite decades of research, drug–drug interactions continue to undermine treatment outcomes. They affect more than 10% of patients in some populations and account for up to 30% of hospitalisations linked to adverse drug reactions.
In this webinar, Professor Tore Stage will use isoxazolyl penicillins as a case study to demonstrate an integrated framework for evaluating drug-drug interactions, showing how dicloxacillin and flucloxacillin act as metabolic inducers with clinically significant consequences.
To uncover these effects, the project combined complementary methods: hepatocyte cultures in 2D and 3D formats with qPCR and LC–MS/MS analysis, pharmacokinetic studies in healthy volunteers using a probe–drug cocktail design, and register-based studies to assess real-world outcomes. Together, these approaches form a transferable model for evaluating drug-drug interactions from bench to clinic.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the clinical impact of drug–drug interactions and their role in adverse outcomes.
- Understand how complementary methods integrate to evaluate drug-drug interactions.
- Apply insights from isoxazolyl penicillins as a transferable case study.
Who Should Attend:
- Scientists in drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics.
- Clinical pharmacologists and healthcare professionals.
- Pharmaceutical R&D professionals involved in drug-drug interaction studies.
